wifisfuneral – ‘The Art of Neglection’ ft. Robb Bank$

The 2018 XXL Freshman Teams Up with His Fellow Floridian for an Appealingly Bleak Lyrical Exercise

Critical Praise:

XXL Freshman, Class of 2018

“[wifisfuneral] displays an impressive array of verbal acrobatics, showing off masterful breath control and a rapid fire flow.” – Pitchfork

“He’s synthesized the regionless, borderless world of the internet age from which he takes his name, while lacing it with a narcotically addictive flow and a distinct ear for melody that’s allowed him to develop while others stagnate.” – NOISEY

“The young rapper has a wide range of skills, from agile raps and bass-heavy tracks to dark and moody slow-burners, and his unpredictability is part of his appeal” – Pigeons & Planes

“Wifisfuneral is becoming a hotter and hotter commodity in the rap world these days, and he’s making sure to prove his skillset as a lyricist in the game.” – XXL

The Video:

When 2018 XXL Freshman wifisfuneral rhymes, millions of people listen. Rhyming atop a flickering and haunting beat from frequent collaborator Cris Dinero, wifi speaks on the deleterious effects of drug addiction on “The Art of Neglection,” his latest loose single. Recruiting fellow Floridian Robb Bank$ to provide an energetic counterweight to his verse, wifi tries to rap his way out of a pit of despair, desperately trying to cure the numbness that results from pill abuse: “You ever see the world crumble in your hands/Ain’t no help out from your man/And all you got is just yourself/Writing thoughts up on a pad.” “The Art of Neglection” is wifi’s first new release since the Noisey-premiered clip for “Genesis,” released in August, which capitalized on the buzz created by wifi’s XXL Freshman Freestyle, which reached #1 on YouTube’s trending chart, and his XXL Freshman Cypher, in which he traded verses with YBN Nahmir and Stefflon Don.. Available on the SoundCloud page for wifi’s Rich Life Records, “The Art of Neglection” will not appear on the Leave Me The Fuck Alone EP, dropping soon.

An immersive experience equally suited for top-down rides as headphone sessions, Ethernet Vol. 1 brings you deep inside the mind of wifisfuneral, as he struggles with his newfound fame, plunges into drug use, and revels in his prodigious talent. Boasting production from wifi’s longtime collaborator Cris Dinero, as well as speaker-knocking instrumentals from the likes of Jahlil Beats, Ronny J, Smash David, and others, Ethernet is wifi’s most diverse project yet, ranging from minor-key Rhodes burbles on “Every Pill In The World,” featuringUno The Activist, to pinging, minimalist trap on “Been 2 Hell & Back,” to New Orleans-bounce on the YBN Nahmir-featuring single “Juveniles,” which has over 10 million streams on Spotify alone, and “LilSkiesFuneral,” which features breakout rapper Lil Skies and racked up over 6.8 million streams on Spotify and 4.82 million plays on SoundCloud. With additional appearances from Brooklyn riser Jay Critch and ATL mainstay Key!, Ethernet arrives via Alamo Records.

In just one year, nineteen year old South Florida rapper wifisfuneral has taken his dark sonics, mature-beyond-his-years lyrics, and trunk rattling bass from the streets of Palm Beach to the world, amassing over 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 600,000 followers on various social media platforms. wifisfuneral’s growth has been organic and cult-like, with his fans spreading his music like wildfire with each and every release. With virtually zero promotion other than his social media presence, wifisfuneral’s independent projects Black Heart Revenge (May 27th, 2016) and When Hell Falls (January 27, 2017) reached #69 and #17 on the iTunes hip-hop charts respectively, resulting in a label deal with Alamo and Interscope Records. His major label debut mixtape, Boy Who Cried Wolf, received critical acclaim, with two of the tracks earning placement in the Spotify’s coveted Most Necessary playlist. His latest release, Ethernet, was released in June 2018 via Alamo Records. In 2018, wifisfuneral was officially named to the XXL Freshman List and reached #1 on YouTube’s trending chart

Big Ced is a passionate about the creative process of entertainment in all forums. He cares about the integrity of vision, relationships,and networking. I have never known Ced not to be a man of his word. I have never worked side-by-side you to know your temperament. I have never argued with you or cried because of you to determine whether you are selfish, mean, judgmental, etc. The Ced that I’ve always known for 20+ years has been a consistent friend who never stopped answering his phone for me whether I was on a hit show or unemployed. I know that you follow-through with your plan,you create opportunity for yourself and others and you work harder than most. I respect you!

Big Ced is…

The only guy that can look like Bernie Mac AND Ma$e at the same damn time.

Hit The Road Sam from the MC Lyte “Paper Thin” video

The geeky trifocal glasses wearing mofo from the “Monie In The Middle” video

Matter of fact…he’s the first male video vixen. He’s a Mixen.

Real talk tho… He’s a good dude. Pause.

He’s a great entertainment resource to have and he’s a good mentor, big brother figure and friend.

But he’s still sarcastic as hell.

Even though most of his jokes be missing the mark, we still laugh along with his punk azz.

Well… outside of having the worst jokes I’ve ever heard, Big Ced to me is what I would call “The Mayor of New York”.
Ced knows everyone and everyone knows Ced. Now.. just because everyone knows him doesn’t mean everyone likes him… lol
Big Ced is a writer, a journalist, a website content creator.. and did I mention he has the worst jokes ever?

Big Ced is an industry legend. He is not only a real journalist but is a leader with an inclusive attitude. I am always grateful for Big Ced giving me my first interview.
